Mandrake Woes

[excalibur313]

I recently installed Mandrake and I was trying to install mathematica for linux 64 and it is a .sh file. When i try to open it, linux asks me to associate it with an application but when i click on the button to do that nothing happens. Does anyone know what a .sh file is and how I can extract mathematica. Also How can i set it so that linux will use my wireless card instead of ethernet when I have drivers for both.
Thanks,
Stephen

Update: Now it lets me asociate it with something but I don't know what to associate it with. Thanks again

Open up a console -> enter 'sh /path/foo.sh' or 'cd /path; chmod +x foo.sh; ./foo.sh'

You may need to run it as root depending on where you want to install it.
